Seeing energy drinks at the lunch table of 7th graders is beyond concerning. No 7th grader let alone kid < 16 YO should be using energy drinks or pre-workouts... -As I have said in many presentations, videos, and articles⌠âusing a pre workout for energy is like rearranging

We donât ask pediatricians if theyâre gonna âclimb the ladderâ into geriatrics, so why do we ask high school athletic trainers when theyâre going to âlevel upâ into college/pro sports? Athletes are athletes and they all deserve healthcare. There shouldnât be a hierarchy.

This is very much the case! It is astounding how many ATs I have heard say this

A lot of you are justifying going to NATA 2025 in Orlando when you canât get arrested and charged with a jail sentence but your colleagues can. Your privilege is showing and the fact that your national org cares more about losing money than taking a stance for their members and
The bill is HB1521. It says that if a trans person is in the bathroom of their gender at the same time as a cis person, they can be arrested and charged, with a 1 year jail sentence. It applies to public owned or leased bathrooms, which is actually a LARGE list. See some here:

I will not be going to NATA 2025 both as an openly gay AT as well as to support my colleagues who are even at greater risk than myself. I wholeheartedly appreciate those of you that are taking a stand!
